“I can’t. I can’t go on. It goes so fast. We don’t have time to look at one another.” - Emily
“I don’t know why on Earth I should be crying. I suppose there’s nothing to cry about. It came over me at breakfast this morning; there was Emily eating her breakfast like she’s done for seventeen years and now she’s going off to eat it at someone else’s house.” - Mrs. Webb
“Three years have gone by… Some babies that weren’t even born before have begun talking in regular sentences already… All that can happen in a thousand days.” - Stage Manager
“Oh yes, everybody is-somethin’ terrible. Seems like they spend most of their time talking about who is rich and who is poor” - Mr. Webb
“No it isn’t Louella. It’s getting better. I’ve been in that choir twice as long as you have. It doesn’t happen anywhere near so often…” - Mrs. Webb
“Nine years have gone by, friends-summer 1913. Gradual changes in Grover’s Corners. Horses getting rarer. Farmers coming into towns in Fords. Everybody locks their house doors now at night.” - Stage Manager
“I’ve been away over twelve years. I’m in a business out in Buffalo now, Joe.” - Sam Craig
“Oh how young Mama looks! I didn’t know Mama was ever that young.” - Emily
“You know as well as I do that the dead don’t stay interested in us living people very long. Gradually, gradually, they lose hold of the earth… and ambitions they had… and the things they suffered… and the people they loved.” - Stage Manager
